Archive is not available on Huawei Y6 2019

i guess the archiving mechanism should be bound to the app and independent of OS

[naveensingh]

Yeah, that is one way to solve that problem. Unless more problems pop up, it'll be best to rely on the OS flag when possible and only fall back to the in-app DB when the column doesn't exist.
